Addressing a gathering of pro-Maoist government employees in the capital, PM Dahal said status-quo elements in politics, bureaucracy and security sectors are blocking his government´s plan for transformation and change.



Expressing concern over the cold shoulder by those opposing peaceful transformation, PM Dahal warned that the first federal democratic government of republic Nepal will be forced to take rigorous measures if "status-quo forces" continue to obstruct the government´s work.

"Our thought, and my thought too, is for freedom of this country and for the people´s desire for change," he told the gathering. "We are not afraid of going to extremes.…we all need to be prepared for this." He did not elaborate what those extreme measures are.


Having said that, the PM continued, "we want to see the peace process reach a logical end through this (ongoing) process, institutionalization of the people´s desire for change, and writing of the constitution on time".


He also doubted that the movement in the Madhes is home grown. He said "somebody outside Nepal" may hold the key of the movement.


Dahal said he would try to lead the peace process to a conclusion by writing the new constitution. And, he warned, if he fails in the current process, he will be forced to break with it.
